Prep Rally

A California youth swim coach faces extremely disturbing charges of attempted child molestation and possession of child porn after he was arrested in a police sting at a hotel where he anticipated meeting a pair of minors for sex.

Johnston had served as coach of the Sea Otters since he was 18 and had emerged as a trusted member of the team's staff. While no swim team members are believed to be among Johnston's victims, Folsom Police met with swimmers and their parents to ensure their safety and investigate the possibility of any other victims.

For her part, the Sea Otters president expressed a sense of shock and sadness at Johnston's arrest.
